Hyperbolic 3-manifolds and the geometry of the curve complex

نویسنده

  • Brian H. Bowditch
چکیده

We give a brief survey of some recent work on 3-manifolds, notably towards proving Thurston’s ending lamination conjecture. We describe some applications to the theory of surfaces and mapping class groups.

An Extension of Poincare Model of Hyperbolic Geometry with Gyrovector Space Approach

‎The aim of this paper is to show the importance of analytic hyperbolic geometry introduced in [9]‎. ‎In [1]‎, ‎Ungar and Chen showed that the algebra of the group $SL(2,mathbb C)$ naturally leads to the notion of gyrogroups ‎and gyrovector spaces for dealing with the Lorentz group and its ‎underlying hyperbolic geometry‎. ‎They defined the Chen addition and then Chen model of hyperbolic geomet...

Metric and periodic lines in the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry

In this paper, we prove that every metric line in the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry is exactly a classical line of itself. We also proved nonexistence of periodic lines in the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic geometry.

Systems of bands in hyperbolic 3-manifolds

This paper is primarily concerned with the geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds that are topologically products of a surface with the real line. More precisely, let M be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold admitting a homotopy equivalence χ :M −→ Σ to a compact surface Σ. We assume that χ is “type preserving” in the sense that each boundary curve in Σ corresponds to a parabolic cusp in M . (We can a...

Three-Dimensional Quantum Gravity, Chern-Simons Theory, And The A-Polynomial

We study three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL(2,C), which has many interesting connections with threedimensional quantum gravity and geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We show that, in the presence of a single knotted Wilson loop in an infinitedimensional representation of the gauge group, the classical and quantum properties of such theory are described by an alge...

A Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
